This book gives a lucid, exciting, and accessible account of the surprising and counterintuitive ideas that shape our understanding of the sub-atomic world. Quantum Theory is the most revolutionary discovery in physics since Newton. The main text makes no use of equations, but there is a Mathematical Appendix for those desiring stronger fare. It does not disguise the problems of interpretation that still remain unsettled 75 years after the initial discoveries. Из серии: Very Short Introductions (OUP General)
2002. Uncertainty, probabilistic physics, complementarity, the problematic character of measurement, and decoherence are among the many topics discussed.
